As American movie theater chains dream up various "premium" flourishes to draw moviegoers back into theaters, AMC Theatres recently announced plans to outfit 1,800 of its 5,000 screens with what is being described as "La-Z-Boy" style recliners. The new seats will cost the theater chain $600 million over five years -- and, after a one-year "grace period," will cost moviegoers $1 to $2 extra every time they use them.

In addition to reclining fully, the new seats will be 16 inches wider than current seats -- going from 44 inches to 60 inches. As a result, they'll also take up more space than current seats, meaning fewer seats per auditorium -- but AMC is betting that the luxury aspect will boost overall attendance, meaning fewer empty seats.
